dimpthepimp Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Hey had a quick question. I just purchased a set of some sa12's and on install I wired one of the sub backwards from one coil to the other. Not to the sub, just from one coil to the other. Now hooked up correctly it work fine, but at low vol it has a small almost electrical short sound. almost like something is in the dust cap. Just wanted to see if someone can tell me what it is.

Bakerman Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 so...you meant to wire one coils + to another's -, and u accidentally hooked it to another +? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimpthepimp Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Ya hooked pos from one coil to the neg on the other coil. But the pos and neg comming in was correct. Just the jumpers going from one coil to the other coil. Just seems funny that it plays fine just when you stick your ear to the sub is only when u hear it.

sundownz Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 If you wired it out of phase with itself that creates enormous thermal stress and may have bubbled the coil former.

skittlesRgood Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 it sounds like he just wired it in series the 1st time... could be understanding it wrong though.
